[1.8]Max velocity in minecraft? and any way to get around it?

[Looke81]

hey all i've been experimenting with making bouncyer slime blocks. So blocks that every time you jump on them your upwards velocity doesn't get less like on a slime block it gets grater. For this i am just doing this when they land.

 

        entityIn.motionY = -entityIn.motionY * 1.5;

 

But i came into a problem which was this works but only up to 32 y value (from y level 1) and the only explanation for this that i can think of is that there is a max velocity which i didn't think there would be.

So is there any way to get around this?
